General
The correct positioning of the high pressure cleaner in regards to for example, ease of
access, environmental circumstances, as well as utilities supply is of crucial importance.
When choosing the location for the pressure cleaner, the following criteria should be
taken into account:
• Space requirements!
Is there sufficient space to accommodate the machine with regard to access or
possibility of interference with other plant equipment?
• Equipment obstruction!
Could the machine become an obstruction at any point in the future, in regards to
production or assembly line changes?
What is the likelihood of the machine interfering with vehicle or forklift traffic; or
similarly, being in the way of overhead cranes or other moving plant and equipment?
• General safety!
Is the location safe in respect to possible gas, dust or fibre explosion hazards?
Is the equipment protected against unauthorised usage, abuse, theft, etc?
• Utilities supply!
How convenient is the proposed location in terms of electric power and water mains
supply lines?
• Service access!
Will it be possible to work on the machine, for the purpose of servicing or breakdown
repairs, at any time during normal production shifts?
• Drainage!
Is there a floor drain conveniently close by, to deal with any possible spillage, for
example during servicing, or in the event of a burst water pipe or coupling?
